I've been living in the countryside with my partner for 10 yrs, on top of a hill, in a very small village. I own very little, never had a car, a TV, no computer anymore only a smartphone, I grow most of my food, I live a very essential life, I spend lots of time outdoors with my dogs or in the kitchen cooking food using my creativity, I practice meditation every day. And I'm happy. As I've never experienced before in my tormented life. Yes, dreams come true if we're true to ourselves and our intentions are pure. I love this channel so so much, thanks for adding to my happiness at every new video 💚💚

So inspiring. "just be a happy saint". I found a note in my old cupboard today by one of the professors in my undergrad saying "Life's wisdom is not found in books. Travel and meet people who are unlike you, find what makes you happy" and then this video comes! Everything is pointing towards reflecting on my life decisions and meditating on my soul's craving, perhaps taking a new turn now. Hoping to move close to nature in the coming years 🤞if the universe aligns.

You can create a sanctuary for the animals, insects, plants and birds and other forms of life, for yourself in a way of balance. Being grateful, happy, passionate, creative and feeling love and grace in each moment of being alive. I have lived on isolated islands, swamps, wilderness areas and other places that are way off of the beaten path. I have realized that we can be present in our lives and feel like we are in a paradise that is anywhere near or far. It is a matter of being alive in our passions and creativity and how we see, feel, choose to live in our environment. Living in the love of being able to be the person who is unique and that is your rhythm and your heart's delight. Remember to be present and to be yourself with your love for life.

This reminds me of the people described in Flow, Csikszentmihalyi: how they've made each part of their lives, including work, a source of meaning and happiness.

They are content and truly happy with the simple things in life! We should try living more like we did years ago, when it was slow paced and calm. Thank you.

Lovely. I think this is my favorite compilation. I have viewed the individual segments as well. I wish I could spread the feeling that this video brings. I know that many are tormented and this joy that is present in your videos is so very important. But how, how does one bring joy to another? Joy from contentment and a quiet mind? This state of mind has got to come from within. My only despair in life is not being able to help others quiet their minds.

@Chris Milliken - Thanks Chris, glad that you enjoyed this one. And yes, we agree - a sense of peace and genuine appreciation for what one has - that comes from within. We can try to point it out to others, but to truly grasp it, they need to feel it themselves on the inside x

Gorgeous ... to see this video again. Keep it simple. Just love the laugh of that sweet 90+ year old ... and she grows zygos and african violet ... now that's my kinda gal!!! I have to agree with her; hearing the birds and watching the flowers grow is "enough" to keep you alive and happy. And she is the example. Thank you GR!!
